Description

[FreeType] Always use MONO hinting when hinting in monochrome. This matches the behaviour of Cairo. It appears to be an undocumented trick of font rendering on Linux that, in monochrome, all the hinting modes expect no-hinting are mapped to FreeType's MONO hinting. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=43252

The day of work required to write a test for this isn't worthwhile,
although it makes me sad that writing tests is so hard these days.

I believe not. I don't think they use mono text and, even if they do
in some cases, I'm sure they hint it fully.
